SCPERF04-BP01 Use performance requirements to drive the selection of network components and architecture
Bring the hosted solution closer to your users' Region to provide a better user experience and make the data safer while hosted or in transit.
Desired outcome: Better user experience and safer data while at rest or in transit.
Benefits of establishing this best practice: Secured data while hosted or in-transit, and low latency by using Amazon backbone network and infrastructure.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Implementation guidance
Use AWS Direct Connect to provide the shortest and most reliable path to AWS resources for components hosted outside of AWS. Use Amazon CloudFront to cache static content closer to use cases, and AWS Global Accelerator to route connections to the closest possible source, using the AWS backbone network and bringing your solutions closer to industries, users, and data. When using multiple AWS Regions, use RouteĀ 53 latency-based routing to serve requests from the AWS Region with the lowest latency.
Implementation steps
-
Analyze network performance requirements and identify optimal AWS regions based on user and supplier locations.
-
Implement AWS Direct Connect for dedicated, high-bandwidth connections between on-premises supply chain systems and AWS.
-
Deploy Amazon CloudFront to cache frequently accessed content and reduce latency for global supply chain users.
-
Configure AWS Global Accelerator to optimize network paths and improve application performance for distributed supply chain operations.
-
Implement RouteĀ 53 latency-based routing to automatically direct traffic to the best-performing AWS region.
-
Monitor network performance metrics and optimize routing configurations to maintain optimal user experience.
